Thank God for Giving Good News
In the face of trouble and anguish,
Isaiah proclaims a note of hope.
The people that walked in darkness
have seen A Great Light (Isa 9:2).
There is coming a Child whose very
names instil hope and confidence.
Though shadows of judgment
darken the horizon, the redeemed
ones can sing, for the ultimate
victory is already assured.
Lord, You’re Everything We Need:
Nevertheless, that time of
darkness will not go on forever…
The people who walk in
darkness will see A Great Light…
Israel will again be great,
and its people will rejoice…
For God will break the chains
that binds His people…
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given…
And His name will be called
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
… He will reign over His Kingdom,
establishing and upholding it…
The Passionate Commitment and
zeal of the Lord Almighty will
guarantee this! (Isa 9:1-7) Amen.
Lord Jesus, we claim Isaiah 9:6 that
says: Nothing will stand in Your way
& nothing is outside Your authority.
We pray for resilience in the midst
of hard times. We understand that
it is through trial and difficulty
that people grow and mature.
But in your mercy, please do
not test beyond what we can bear
and grant us the grace to live in
peace & favour of breakthrough
for a new season in life. Amen.
Lord Jesus, You are my Prince of
Peace. Help me learn to rest in You,
to draw near to You in good times
and bad. Thank You for the promise
of deliverance and victory over
my trials. In tough times teach me
to look to You and to lean on You.
And make me a good example
of Your supernatural peace;
for You are my Peace. Amen.
Lord, help me Grow Your Kingdom.
Help me do more than just tell
Your story. Help me to display
Your character, demonstrate Your
way and impact the environment
where I set my foot. Expand Your
Kingdom in me and through me.
Teach me to trust in Your zeal
for my life – to know that Your
purposes cannot be stopped.
In Your presence, let me feel
Your passion for me, for the world
and for Your purposes. Amen.
